Speed test: Google Chrome beats Firefox, IE, Safari
Written on September 2, 2008 – 8:25 pm | by xymon-sez
Hey IT guys and Internet enthusiasts, I just found out today that Google released a new open-source web browser called Chrome. I just downloaded it and explored some of its features and capabilities, and I tell you guys it’s damn good! Interface is simple and clean yet attractive to me, actually I fell in-love with it. If you will not try to explore it, maybe you won’t appreciate what I’m talking about.

Go give it a try. Here’s the download link:

Or maybe you should read these links if you think I’m not convincing enough =):

NOTE:
Some of you might notice that when you open multiple tabs, there will be multiple chrome.exe running in process list when you open windows task manager. This is because Chrome is a multi-threaded browser(separate process rendering separate tabs). The good thing about this is that if one tab goes down, it doesn’t crash the whole browser.

Google Chrome is just a newbie in browser wars so don’t expect too much as of now. But it’s getting better and better. Actually I’m using both Firefox and Chrome. Chrome still lacks some features but I’m still positive about it… What I love about Chrome is that, it has its own task manager so you could monitor which object on your page is consuming too much resources and you can kill that sub-process/thread if you want. =)
